Re: [orca-list] OT: ARIA/HTML: text only visible to screen reader

Hi Sebastian.

Thanks for testing. I'm glad I've at least addressed the problem for
speech. The change needed for braille is going to require more work
because it's not a matter of implementing it for this one particular use
case of yours. When caret navigation is used in textual web content,
Orca displays the text. Displaying the ancestors -- including when they
stop -- is doable and on my to-do list, but it's a bigger change that
impacts all of Orca's braille web support. Sorry that I couldn't say,
"oops, forgot that, done." and have to instead go with "acknowledged,
please give me some time."

Thanks again!
